Palestine on the Thames

We are pleased to invite you to join us in marking the 70th anniversary of Nakba by exploring its meaning to many of us and celebrating Palestine on River Thames in Hammersmith between the 12th and 13th of May 2018.

The theme is 'Nakba In My Present' and we will be holding a number of presentations by speakers sharing their views, feelings, experiences about what Nakba means to them. Apart from that, the 2-day event is set to host a vibrant programme including art, workshops, stalls and pop-up shops. There will be a raffle, excellent food and good discussion.

We’re looking for volunteers to help us with event stewarding and getting the venue ready for this year’s 2-day event. By volunteering, you can be at the very centre of this exciting movement and learn about what goes into organising an international, multi-day conference.

'Smiles for Miles'

'Smiles for Miles' books are colouring books made to raise funds for young refugees, with love from graffiti artists, street artists, illustrators and more! Not for profit, just to show them we care.​We can give a refugee child a free colouring book for every one that is sold. There are over ten million misplaced children in the world right now, and everyone has been colouring to help them. In 3 months we have sold over a thousand copies, but we won't stop there..

In 2017 we aim to deliver as many books as we can to the children living in refugee camps, alongside painting group murals with them. The gift of art can break down barriers, and this is a revolution! We also want to paint group murals with refugees now living over in the UK. This will help them to connect to their new communities and spark imaginations during these difficult times. Books cost just £5 each, so by buying a copy, many people can join us on our mission to bring a smile to their lives.

Here at Uthink PDPs Hammersmith Creative Hub we have 30 books to gave away to the 1st 30 kids through the doors before Christmas.......
